A Wonderful Pair of English 18th Century Country Chairs

18th century
Description

Dating from about 1760, a superb pair of elm and ash side chairs with spindle backs and rush seats. Attributed to the North West of England, these chairs are typical of the region and contain no square sawn parts. The turned uprights are generous in proportion and of simple straight form, as are the stretchers and spindles. This 'chubbiness' gives a homely, country appeal to the chairs and allows the beautiful grain and original patination to come through. One chair has a short split below one stretcher, this is quite minor and does not affect the stability of the chairs. The rush seating is lovely and in very good order, the chairs stand well with no wobbles and the overall condition is good. The chairs have been cleaned and waxed and are ready to place in the home, perfect to add country charm to any interior.
